APPLYING MANURE.
An Agricultural Duty Not Fully UNDERSTOOD
by Many Farmers.

by Many Farmers.
II ought to be understood that fresh
manure is not available fertility, and
that if applied so as to come in contact
with the plants. and especially with
some varieties, it is positively injurious.
By this it must not be inferred that all
manure must be we'll rOtted before ap--
plying. As a general rule. on the farm.
the safest plan to follow is to haul out
manure whenever there is time to do
the work and you have the manure to-
haul. Generally there will be plenty oil
places that need the manure and are in
a condition to receive the benefit.
As rule the work should be so
planned that the manure can be applied
some time before the crop is sown or
planted, and Il good opportunity afford
ed to incorporate thoroughly with the,
soil. II care is taken to mix we'll with,
the soil so that only u small per cent
would be liable TO come in contact with
the plants, usually fresh manure WILL.
at least. do no great harm; but. if APP
piled just before a crop is planted IL
will be of very little benefit to that crop.
because the plant food it contains is
not soluble and consequently is not
available.
There is always more or less blowing
done in the fall, and this enables US to.
have land in good condition to receive
an application of manure, and usually
with time enough to get thoroughly
incorporated with the soil before crop
will be sown or planted. During the
fall and winter there is always more
manure than can be hauled out, usually
plenty of time for doing the work. and
all the manure possible should be hauled
out and scattered.
In the garden and truck patch the
manure should be thoroughly rotted-
Usually it is not good plan to apply
fresh manure, especially if it is coarse.

sufficient amount of well rotted manure
can be secured to keep these places

applied to field crops. If thoroughly

PLEASANT REMEDIES.
An Entertaining and Successful Case of
Mind Cure.

Mind Cure.
Speaking of the mind cure reminds
me of a case of shrewd management on
the part of physician, who was con-
suited by patient suffering from an
aggravated case of authors cramp.
The doctor examined the patient aud
inquired into the circumstances, the re-
suit being that he became convinced
that the whole trouble was purely i'm
aginary. The young man had suddenly
been given an order for an important
work which he was most anxious to
write. but which must be finished with
in specified and rather limited time.
OF an imaginative turn OF mind and
full of fear lest something should pre-
vent him from accomplishing the work.
writer's paralysis had unluckily sug-
gested itself TO his mind and the result
was a complete inability TO write ut all.
"Ah, we'll" the doctor said. sit is a
pity; but the more you fret the more
YOU lower the tone of your system, and
the longer it will take you to get over
it. Come over and see us tonight. We
can play whist, or something. You
need livening up"
The melancholy and hypochondriac
young author passed the evening at the
physicians. and most merry evening
they had. the wife and daughters of the
host having been beforehand instructed
to entertain the guest to the best of
their ability. The visitor gradually
forgot all about himself, and before the
evening was over was as merry as
grig. Just rs he was taking his leave
the doctor said to him, as if On the spur
of the moment:
30. before you 60 please write me
out the name of that French book we
were speaking of. 1 did not UNDER
stand how you spelled the authors
name"
Quite unconscious of the trap laid for
him. the guest did as requested. said |
good night and took his leave. In the
morning he received note from the
saying:
by the way, forgot to remark last
night after you wrote that card for me,
that there must be some mistake about
your having authOs's cramp-"
To which the author replied in his
own handwriting:
There was no mistake. but regret
the speediness OF NY cure since your
are as pleasant as they are
efiicacious. Boston Letter.

HINTS TO SLEEPERS.

The Time Approaching when All of Us
Will Join the Chorus of Snorers.
1t is perfectly true that no one ever
heard of a snoring savage. In fact. il
the wild man of the woods and plains
does not sleep quietly, he runs the risk
of being discovered by his &emy, and
the scalp of the snorer would soon
adorn the belt of his crafty and more
silent sleeping adversary. In the nat.
ural state, then. natural selection"
weeds out those who disturb their
neighbors by making night hideous
with snoreS. With civilization, how
ever. we have changed all this. The
impure air of our sleeping rooms in
duces all manner of catarrhal affec.
tons. The nasal passages are the first
to become affected. Instead of warm
ing the inspired air on its wav to the
lungs and removing from it the dam
gerous impurities with which it is
loaded, the nose becomes obstructed.
A part of the air enters and escapes by
way of the mouth. The vail of the
palate vibrates between the two cur.
rents-that through the mouth and the
one still passing through the partially
closed nostrils-like a torn sail in the
wind. The snore, then, means that the
sleeper's mouth is partially open, that
his nose is partially closed, and that
his lungs are in danger from the sir
not being properly warmed and puri-
fed. From the continual operation of
these cause.-the increase of imuure
air in sleeping rooms and permitting
ha5ltual snorers to escape killing and
scalping-some scientist has predicted
that in the future all men land the
women. too) will snore. 1t goes along
with the decay of the teeth and bald.

THE SAFE PATH.

The evening shades were falling,
The day was almost done
And fiocks and herds were driven home
At setting OF the sun.
While lingering in the grassy lane,
Two children passed US by;
We wondered that they walked so late,
And asked the reason why.
Sand whittier are you bound" we : - .,-
so near the close Of day:
q The night is coming. httle ones,
And you may lose your way"
Their faces wore no trace Of fear,
But seemed OF joy to tell:
30, We are going home they said,
And know the way quite well.
''This narrow path well follow on,
1t pass S by the mill;
And then our fathers house is near,
Beyond the rising hill"
So Cd life's journey may their feet
Not turn aside nor stray,
But safely keep the homeward path,
And never miss the way.

Arkansas collision.

st. LOUIS, Mo-, NOV lj.-Word has just
been received that two passenger trains on
the Iron Mountain railroad collded Mon
day afternoon near Bradford, Ark, $50
miles south of this city. Nobody was killed,
but George Gable, engineer OF the north
bound train, was seriously hurt, and four
or five Others were badly bruised and
cut. None OF the passengers were much
hurt but all were roughly shaken up.
Two or three passenger coaches were
badly broken and the locomotives were
greatly injured. The accident was caused
by the dense smoke from forest fires in
that region. For many miles up and
down the roads and all the way over to
the Mississippi river fires are raging in
the woods and swamps, and the entire
country * filed with smoke. The smoke
has been so dense at points on the river be-
low Cairo and above New Madrid as TO de-
lay steamers and the traffic Of the country
has been badly impcded. Immense
amounts OF cut timber and standing trees
have been burned, aud in many eases farm
products and other property has been de-
stroycd.

The matrimonial epidemic that has
prevailed in the city during the fall
reached its crisis last night, when an
other large and brilliant audience gathered
at the Second Presbyterian church to wit
ness the marriage of Miss Carrie Belle
Grosvenor to Mr.. II. Henderson Beard.
The large church was filed with the Tela-
tiyes, friends and acquaintance Of the
couple, all OF whom were closely interested
spectators. Extensive decorations adorned
the high platforms erected around the pull
pit, ferns, palms and chrysanthcmuns pre-
dominating, while large white wedding
bell oil the same beautiful flowers was
suspended from the central arch OF ever
greens. The organ was presided over by
Mr.. Leo kremer, who rendered some
of his favorite classics, rs well as
the latest catching airs and waltgcs The
familiar strains Of Memberships wedding
march indicated the arrival of the party,
which was promptly on time. The usheIs,
who had performed admirable service in
seating the large audience, moved up the
right aisle three abreast, rs follows: Z. L.
Brooks, j. Bowdre, Ed Moon, W. Over
ton, Lee Hill Jim Nicely; while the attend
ants followed in pairs and ranged them
selves in graceful form upon the platform.
Tho bride assembled the aisle alone, i'm

Hoist and Frank Hill, two charming little
flower bearers. The groom, who had al
ready reached the pulpit with Mr.. Lee
| Beard, his best man, met the bride at the
steIs and gracefully led her forward
TO the waiting minister, DIR. Boggs.
The scene was strikingly pretty and effect
i've. The bride wore a handsome fdille
franchise, covered with illusion, and the
veil completely covered her person, rem
dering her picture OF perfect loneliness.
Around her her schoolgirl friends and ac-
quainiunccs stood in graceful group,
clad IN pretty dresses OF Paris muslin,
trimmed with narrow white silk ribbon,
and with sashcs OF white MORE. The GER
emory was performed in DR.. Boggs' usual
